I see we are at 15% of our goal - does that mean members have donated $150?

Yes we are. The VFG is an all-volunteer organization, meaning no board member gets any sort of payment or salary - our donation to the VFG is personal. The money we raise through donations goes to pay some of the expenses involved in keeping the lights on. Once basic expenses are covered, we...

The problem is that even if the stain comes out, it's nearly impossible to avoid a water ring. I would expect that if I got the satin out, I would then need to wet the entire dress so it (hopefully) dried evenly.

It looks lovely! Sadly, I agree with Nicole that stain removal is a long shot. If it were mine and I wanted to wear it, I would consider adding a long, curvy, and delicate embroidered "stem" with a small leaf or two, extending from under the flower down to a little below the stain. The stain...

Me too. You do have to be careful to avoid spitting.

Susan, nice to "see" you here! I just sent you a DM - look for the little envelope icon in the upper righthand corner. When it is red, you have an unread Direct Message.

I think it depends on how you see yourself and your personal vintage wardrobe. There are folks who feel strongly about everything in their wardrobe being pristine and perfect. I had a female relative whose white Keds were always blindingly bright and clean. She stepped an a banana slug while...

Thank you!
